Visit my instagram page @yummykitchenchemistry to see our recipes and food prep. With a diabetic in the home, we've all learned how to calculate carbohydrates, build meals focused on a complex approach for blood sugar health, & avoid simple empty calorie carbs which will spike blood sugars and offer little nutrient value. We also document our garden's progress, provide recipes and throw in some amazing desserts.
Salad!!
Salads have become an art in our home! How many colors can you add..... Most of my family members are not huge lettuce fans. So we just decreased the lettuce to everything else ratio. Three varieties of nuts, strawberries and applies, sweet chilis, furikaki. Sometimes we add turkey or chicken or proscuitto. We use a light Italian dressing or a homemade vinaigrette. Tomatoes, greens, garlic and basil are straight out of our garden. We have three young hazelnut trees, not big producers yet but we are trying. This salad has pistachios, pine nuts and almonds. Have you tried furikaki?? It's amazing! Check it out on amazon.com. We use it on salads, on rice, fish, stir fry..... it's worth trying. I'm blessed that my type 1 girl appreciates the food we grow in the garden. She loves making salads. If I make a salad for lunches, she'll eat it for breakfast too. This sort of meal is excellent for anyone's blood glucose.
